Yes 39, and that's just the domestic ones, there are a few more in Europe but much more expensive as I actually have to use the car there and I just don't think that I would fit in whatever the equivalent of a geo metro is over there, maybe a Cinquecento?

Thanks Oz/Glen. You are too kind though as all credit in the HH points accumulation goes to you and Mr. Limo. That one is basically free and more universal. This BA/Avis one may suit people who fly BA or who are in an area where Avis rentals are cheap and they are close to a rental location but it isn't for everyone.

I will have to think about what to do with the cars, if anything, as liability is a real concern. It would be nice if I could figure out a way that someone could make use of them. I doubt that Ft'ers would have much use for a geo metro in St Louis on the weekend but I was thinking that the seminary students, many of whom are from other countries do not have cars and they may be able to use one on the weekend to get around the city to do some errands, shopping, good works, and whatever else they do. If anyone has any experience in this type of scenario or is a lawyer and has any free advice please e-mail me. My one year of law school several years ago suggests to me that it is more trouble than it is worth, to just leave the cars on the lot or use for a couple of weekends when guests come to visit, but maybe sharper minds can convince me otherwise.
